A polarized lens, then, blocks out this plane of light. Since it only allows perpendicular plane light to pass, the parallel plane, the light from glare, is blocked. This is how polarized lenses work. Here is a fun side effect of this, though.

Explosive 5/1/21
The biggest difference between an explosion and the burning process is the shock wave. In the burning of fuel, it’s not just heat that is released (and a lot of it), but also gasses, primarily carbon dioxide and water vapor. When this happens in burning, the gases and heat are dispersed in a relatively slow process of diffusion (flow of gasses) and convection (flow of heat). But in an explosion, all of that heat, and all of those gasses, are suddenly created and exist in a volume far too small for stability.
All You Need 3/26/21
“All you need is the love of one good woman.” Okay, I agree, but what happens to those of us who don’t have what we need?
Fishy 3/25/20
Animals are basically filtration systems of their diet. They eat whatever it is that of which their diet consists, extracting out the nutrients and minerals and incorporate them into their own muscles which is what we call “meat”.
Distillation 3/24/21
My first at-home experiment will be the steam distillation of orange rinds for their oils. I’m planning on trying the retort flasks and open flame for the experiment as that is what I’m hoping to use at the Ren fair. But, if I start having too much fun, this new equipment will be great for home experimentation.
Fluorescing 3/16/21
We, all of us, have a habit of looking at the impurities in ourselves, the flaws, those things we don’t like, and hope others don’t notice, and yet, we all have the capacity to glow. For some of us, it’s our hearts that shine forth for our loved ones in undying kindness and effort.
Pi 3/14/21
I understand that many people don’t like math, but I hope my readers have at least come to appreciate it a little bit more. As for me, I will forever love mathematics.
The Future of Energy 2/18/21
. Diversity of power generation, distribution to individuals and away from central power plants and power conservation is our way forward.
Hookah 2/11/21
attorneys will leave out key pieces of evidence, include things that may or may not be relevant, and other tricks. If you want to see these games in action, they’re being performed every day this week in the impeachment trial.
Studies 2/10/21
Today the vaccines are becoming more readily available, and some professions (such as educators like me) are going to be required to get the vaccination soon. So, even if I believe I had the real injection, how can I prove it? Beyond that, if I got the placebo, how do I know I still need it?
